K2 - Sexencyclopedia

By day, Dr. Kimihide Kusafuka is a pathologist in rural Suntō-gun, Shizuoka, Japan. But since 1983 or so, by the light of the full moon, this mild-mannered country doctor (do pathologists have any free time?) transforms into a fierce, prolific producer of harsh synthesizer music, metal-bashing industrial scree, tape-splice audio junk collage, and (most recently) pure-electronic noise. This 4xCD boxset collects metal junk noise from 2000 and 2001, including studio work (discs 1 and 4), newly remixed music taken from split tapes and CDs with Vita-Verbum-Lux and Veprisuicida (disc 2), and live recordings (discs 2 and 3). It was issued by K2's own Kinky Music Institute label in a run of 500 copies, and came in one of those chunky multi-disc jewel cases with the thick spine that looks so great when sitting on your shelf.  Along with Merzbow's "Metalvelodrome" and Hijokaidan's "Neverending Story of the Kings of Noise", completes the unofficial trilogy of essential 4xCD boxsets of Japanese noise.
